Country Line Dance Lessons

Do you know how to electric slide?  Can you do the cowboy cha cha?  How about that ol’ tush push?  Well if you don’t and want to learn (or just want to freshen up your moves), put your boots on and head on down to the Drytown Social Club to learn some new dance moves for the country club.  Amador County Recreation Agency (ACRA) presents Country Line Dance Lessons every third Thursday of the month starting April 21st.  Lessons begin at 6 pm and are $5.

The Drytown Social Club is located at 15950 CA-49 in Drytown, California.  For more information, please call ACRA at 209-223-6359 or email acra@amadorgov.org.  If you’re interested but can’t make the third Thursday, starting June 2nd and occurring on the first Thursday of the month, ACRA will be offering lessons at the Castle Oaks Golf Club in Ione.
